53. The Treatment (Bayer AG)

I haven't been a fan of Bayer since I learned it made Zyklon B, which was the fatal component used for gassing people in Nazi death camps.

Imagine all the content going to be on 2020

Anyone having issues playing this one? Got to about 10 mins to the end and won’t seem to play. Tried on my podcast app as well and still won’t work 🤔. Bayer haven’t got ACC have they!? 😫😭

This was the second time I cried from an episode of Swindled. The first was the episode about the IUD's that made many women infertile.

Well I hate everything. Lol

I'm so proud that you have continued to be the voice of truth courage and are not afraid to call out the worthless amoral the vile and greedy who hide behind the corrupt governments who are as complicit as these bottom feeders. I thanked God I only had one Bayer product to trash but kept a list of all the products they produce. Shop and support with your principles small stones move mountains

I’m never buying Bayer again

Thank you ACC, for doing the research to make a clear and concise presentation of where we should spend our money. I think that all of us patrons here have a want to make informed decisions and it's sometimes hard to navigate the bullshit. Yours is the first podcast that I've patronized and I am constantly impressed with every new episode. I may just be one person, and my small boycotts may not amount to a lot, but I can feel good when I look in the mirror.

Sometimes I think the world doesn’t remember how scary the AIDS crisis was. This is just another example of the f ups that happened. Go watch How To Survive a Plague and A Normal Heart. They threw the victims corpses out in trash bags because no one would take them. Horrifying.

I'm not finished with the episode yet but I just need to pause and point out the fact that the phrase "Auschwitz Customer Service Representative" was just uttered and somehow that is one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard

Got damn!!🤯🤯🤯

@MBA I know of thalidomide, it’s scary.

Painful, painful....the art you provide "concern citizen" hits the head and heart....question is "what can I do with my hands"? I will be mulling this over as I consider voting and donating to various people / places. Beautiful presentation of a tragic history.

And we're supposed trust the COVID vaccine??????

Enraged yet not surprised... fuck unbridled capitalism in all its forms. While I’m NOT an anti-vaxxer, I feel their pain and understand their fears on a certain level... If there’s no proper scientific and governmental oversight, corporations are literally lethal feeding us poison.

My reaction before watching: Never forget, Isaac Asimov died of AIDS from an infected transfusion. My reaction to the prelude: I am less forgiving than Ryan White. The people who bullied him and his family weren't afraid of the unknown (except maybe in the Lovecraftian sense). They were angry that their just world delusion was being threatened, and so they reacted with violence. They attacked Ryan and his family, because to do otherwise would be to admit they were wrong about only bad people getting AIDS...and that would mean the bullies were the bad guys. (And they were!) My reaction after watching: "Oh man, I still can't get over that Chiquita episode! Good thing there aren't any other companies like tha-" "Hey kids! Did you know the company that invented aspirin also invented heroin, actively supported Nazis and the Holocaust, and spread the AIDS virus back in the day?" I'll never buy Bayer again....though I'll need to see what brands they sell first. EDIT: Which they helpfully provide on their website! Thanks, bloodsuckers...and it turns out you sell Alka-Seltzer and Claritin, which I have actively used for years. FUDGE! Well, no problem. Guess I'll just switch brands when I've used up my stockpile.

Gah

Oof.

i swear this is the best pod cast out there right now THANK you
